Bobby Perreault reached the AHL summit Wednesday at the St. John's Convention Centre in St. John's, Newfoundland.

The legendary goalie, who backstopped the Hershey Bears to consecutive Calder Cup championships in 1957-58 and 1958-59, was inducted into the AHL Hall of Fame in a presentation narrated by broadcaster Mike “Doc” Emrick.

“Bobby was an extremely aggressive goalie,” Willie Marshall, a Hershey teammate and fellow AHL Hall of Famer, said in the presentation video. “He had a very fast catching hand. He was Mr. Clutch as he backstopped the Hershey Bears to the 1957-58 Calder Cup.”

Perreault, who also won two titles with the Rochester Americans, is tied for the most ever Calder Cups by an AHL goalie (four).

In the video presentation, Bears President-GM Doug Yingst recalled meeting Perreault as a youth in 1959.

“It must have meant a great deal to me to have maintained the memory for so many years,” Yingst said. “I was meeting the goaltender who guided the Hershey Bears to the Calder Cup one year earlier. Little did I know that he would repeat that feat in a few more weeks. This was a special human being who did Hershey proud.”
